Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Xie An and Shen Qianxue did not speak, but Shen Yan did not like such a heavy atmosphere, and comforted Xie Hong with a smile on his face: "Uncle Xie, we are all busy taking care of ourselves now, so how can we spare the energy to take care of others? Instead of worrying about those unknown things, we might as well think about how to settle down after we arrive in the northern border."

Xie Hong was distracted by Shen Yan. He turned around and looked at Shen Xian: "It seems that Shen is a man with a lot of ideas. Tell me about it?"

"Here's what I think. He exiled us to the North because he knew you had a grudge against that person. He obviously has bad intentions. Who knows what traps are there in the North waiting for us to fall into? I thought we should ask someone to go there in advance to make arrangements so that we don't have to face difficulties when we get to the North."

After Shen Yan finished speaking, he saw that no one was talking, and he was full of doubts: "What's wrong? Am I wrong to think this way? Why don't you tell me what you think."

Xie Hong laughed and pointed at Shen Yan and said, "You kid, you have always liked to go to the general's mansion to practice martial arts since you were a child. It seems that you are so focused on playing that you don't pay any attention to anything else."

"It's not the first day you've known what kind of person this kid is," Shen Xian was also at a loss for words. He turned to look at his puzzled son and explained helplessly, "The current official in the Northern Territory is Zhou Wende. Didn't you meet him in the General's Mansion when he returned to Beijing to resume his post three years ago? How come you forgot so quickly?"

Shen Yan's eyes widened, he looked at Xie Hong and then at Shen Xian, he suddenly slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "So it's him, isn't he Uncle Xie's life and death brother? Then why is there a rumor in the capital that Uncle Xie and him are incompatible?"

Xie Hong and Shen Xian smiled and shook their heads without saying anything.

Shen Qianxue sighed softly, "Brother, Uncle Zhou always went to the General's Mansion to see Uncle Xie secretly. As for those rumors, they were intentional. This was Xie An's idea at the beginning. He was afraid that the man would abandon him after he had done his job. The Xie Mansion needed a way out. This move now seems to be the right one."

Shen Yan suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Then we don't have to worry about being plotted against when we go to the northern border."

Several people smiled and nodded. If they were not prepared at all, how could they not worry after being exiled for such a long time? Only a big fool like Shen Yan would think of these things now.

Several people were talking in low voices in the tent. The other villagers had also finished their preparations for bed. It was still early, and many people were talking around the fire. Even Song Shiwei came out of the tent and sat quietly by the side listening to their gossip. It was quite interesting.

The excitement only fades away when the moonlight becomes brighter.

Before going to sleep, Song Shiwei deliberately listened to the noises around for a while. When he found nothing, he calmly went into the space to wash up. By the way, he took a look at the medicinal herbs he had planted before. He also symbolically picked some vegetables, fruits and melons. After picking a bamboo basket of each, he moved it to the static area and tidied up the static area. When he was tired, he simply slept in the space.

Song Shiwei slept very rarely in the space, and had a good sleep. He woke up before dawn in the morning, opened the tent and went out. Only the night watchman was still guarding, and everyone else was still asleep.

Song Shiwei stood in front of the tent and stretched comfortably. Not wanting to wake up others, he just nodded to the person on guard as a greeting.

Zhang Wu woke up when he heard the noise, and as soon as he walked out of the tent, he saw that his master was actually cooking!

Zhang Wu was completely stunned. He walked to Song Shiwei with a confused look on his face, and said hesitantly: "Master, what are you doing?"

Song Shiwei raised the corner of his mouth: "Can't you see that I'm making breakfast? Today I'll let you taste my cooking skills."

"Okay, I'm going to have a good meal today," Zhang Wu said as he went to get some firewood.

Facing Zhang Wu's face full of expectation, Song Shiwei touched his nose and said nothing.

Half an hour later, the master and servant looked at the dark mass in the jar in silence.

Zhang Wu twitched his lips behind Song Shiwei, first took the clay pot off the stone stove, pursed his lips and said, "Let me do it. The master shouldn't do these things in the first place."

Looking at Zhang Wu's leaving back, Song Shiwei felt guilty for the first time.

I was clearly following Zhang Wu’s usual cooking steps, so how come it turned out so bad?

Song Shiwei thought that the first time she cooked the food, the taste might be a little bland, or maybe a little strong, but she never thought that it would be gone!

It seems that I am not good at cooking, so I can only grill fish and rabbit.

By the time Zhang Wu washed the clay pots and prepared the meal, everyone else had woken up. During the meal, the two of them tacitly kept silent. They finished their breakfast in silence, packed up their things, and continued on their way.

The group walked safely in the mountains for ten days according to the map in Ge Li's hand, until they stopped to rest at noon on the eleventh day. Huang Changyuan came over with a worried look on his face and called Song Shiwei.

Song Shiwei followed Huang Changyuan to the forest on the side, and then he asked, "Village Chief, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Song, I have bad news." Huang Changyuan's face was filled with worry. Without waiting for Song Shiwei to ask, he continued, "The map in Lord Ge's hand is from ten years ago. Many roads on it have changed. The road ahead has been uncertain since the day before yesterday. Lord Ge just asked me to go over and make sure that the road we are taking now is wrong. The road ahead is uncertain."

Song Shiwei was stunned for a moment: "The village chief said that we are lost in the mountains now?"

Huang Changyuan nodded: "Yes, we are lost. This mountain is too big and too deep. We are not sure where we are now, let alone finding a way out. The food we bought in Xiang County is almost gone. The water we fetched a few days ago can only last for two more days if we use it sparingly. If we can't find food or water, I'm afraid there will be problems with so many of us."

The team was lucky a few days ago and successfully found a water source that had not dried up, but there was no way to replenish the food. They didn't even see any edible wild vegetables along the way. For the past ten days, they had been eating the food purchased in Xiang County and the remaining wild animal meat, which is now almost gone.

There are a lot of food and water in the space, but they were prepared secretly and could not be taken out. The food on the surface was not much different from that of other people.

Song Shiwei was silent for a moment: "It's not easy to find water around here, so we can only take one step at a time now."

Huang Changyuan sighed: "It can only be like this, I just came here to tell you so that you can be mentally prepared."

After seeing Huang Changyuan off, Song Shiwei told Zhang Wu about the incident, thought for a moment and told him: "Let's not cook meat for now. There is still a lot of dried meat in the carriage. If you want meat, eat it secretly and don't let anyone see you. As for the usual meals, we will eat whatever they eat."

Zhang Wu nodded: "I understand. If you want to eat meat, I can go to the forest and roast it for you and bring it back."

"No, we don't know the way ahead and we are not familiar with the surroundings. Please don't leave the team for now."

"it is good."

Now that they didn't know where they were, they could only move forward based on their intuition. The number of people going out to explore the way increased from two to three. Huang Changyuan was extremely anxious, but he still had to remain calm, otherwise the team would lose their spirits.
